An indiscriminate slaughter of young
calves from one hour to three days old,
and shipped to New York, where they
are put up as canned chicken, is being
carried on quite extensively in this and
Herkimer County, says the Utica Press.
Complaint is also made that an unusu-
ally large number is being shipped
constantly from Poland, Herkimer
County. A well-known authority on
the matter, writing from that place,
says: sThere are 5000 young calves,
from one hour to two days old, shipped
from this station every spring. and in
the town of Newport, just below, the
shipment is equally as great. Recently

Mrs. Whitney.

There has probably never been woman
in Washington whose influence upon its
society has been so remarkable in MANY
ways as that of Mrs. Whitney, wife of the
Secretary of the Navy, says an Eastern
correspondent. Her name has become
synonymous with all that is generous,
gentle and good. The Secretary and Mrs.
Whitney have brought the matter of enter
tainment in this very peculiar community
to point Of perfection that has never be-.
fore been attained. Mrs. Whitney is an
accomplished linguist, speaking most of
the tongues of Europe fuently. She is
much sought by the diplomatic corps. the
distinguished members of which are al
ways to be met at her house. She is a
brilliant conversationalist, and is thoroughly
well read in biography, history, the phi
losophies, and science. Her sweetly SYM
pathetic voice, too, makes conversation
with her much coveted privilege.
Mrs. Whitney's mother was the only
daughter of Nathan Perry, probably the
wealthiest man in Northern Ohio. He pos
sessed great areas of real estate in Cleve-
land. So that while she was nursed in
luxury, there was always thrown about the
daily life that feeling Of taking care Of the
expenditures that is now one of the lost
arts among modern men of money. The
power of possession and the desire to
transmit great fortunes to the next genera.
ton are not the ruling passions with men
of the present. The precarious hold q
man has upon fortune, the possibility
that he may wake up some morning to find
it has flown from him, has superinduced
the philosophy held by many Of enjoying
each day whatever of dedication can be
had out of it's twenty four hours.
In personal appearance Mrs. Whitney is
all that one might imagine so generous a
woman to be. Favored by nature with an
exquisite figure, shoulders, arms, and bust
of exquisite perfection, Mrs. Whitney is
further blessed with G radiant face full Of
subtle, sympathetic lower that attracts and
holds attention. TIE beautiful head is
poised upon perfect neck, the great eyes
are blue, the mouth sweet and sensitive.
and the lines Of cheek and chin perfect
curve of beauty. The premature gray hair
is abundant, and is worn in the prevailing
high couture. Her wei. rounded and lis
some figure seems made for the beautiful
fabrics she wears. Mrs. Whitney's dress 10
always artistic and becominely suited for
the occasion. Last winter she never wore
anything off the half mourning, beauti-
full velvet bodice of lavender, with tulle
skirts, worn at the British Minister'S ball,
being the only toilet off of black and white
that she wore.
While standing in the receiving line with
the President, Mrs. Whitney wore an even
ing dresss of black silk and tulle that was
very becoming, and also superb robe of
white embossed velvet, garnished with os-
trich feathers. Indeed, whatever Mrs.
Whitney wears latest seems the most suit
ed to her, SO true is her taste in matters Of
dress.

The well known advertising agency OF
Geo p. Rowell & Co, of New York City. have
issued an annual Newspaper Directory for
thirty years or more, and these publications
have been generally recognized rs authority
ms 10 the matter OF newspaper circulation,
In the regular issues Of the Directory they
have included all the newspapers published
in the United States and Canada. Quite
recently, however, they have issued con-
densed list. 1t gives only the best newspa-
pers as advertising mediums, and hence Is
practically better, because more convenient,
than their larger Directory. Four-hfths OF
the newspapers of the United States are
practically counted out" by intelligent ad-
vertisers, who only want to know the BEST
Heace the value of the work under notice.
The publishers in the preface well say:

rects the attention of au advertiser toward
papers which he should and ought to nse'
and tends to intercept portion OF that pa
tronage which goes to publications which
cost greatly in excess of any power TO Dene,

ground, that the best Is the cheapest"

sehastopol Rebuilt.

At the present rapid rate Of restoration
the historic ruins Of Sebastopol will in
another twelve months have given place
to entirely new structures. Tho popula-
tion of Sebastopol ten years ago was some
$4,000; it ~ now closely approaching
10000. These figures sufficiently indicate
the rapid development of the new city and
port which Is destined to become the head
quorters Of the powerful black sea fleet
now being created. It was In 1854 TINT
Sebastopol was founded by the Russians
under ukase of Catherine ii on the site
of the old Tarter settlement Akhtiar;
but Nicholas was the first car to invest
the place with any importance as naval
and military port.
After the eleven months siege during
the Crimean war there remained standing
intact only fourteen buildings Subse-
quently the government, with a view to
promote the commercial development OF
tho port, granted an annual subsidy to
the city Of. 750, 600 rubles This subsidy,
with railway communication with the in
terror, gave o first and successful impulse
to the commercial port. Now, however,
the government Is intent on making
SebastOpol It's greatest southern naval
headquarters. 1t has this great advan-
tage over all other Crimean ports, that its
navigation is never closed by ice. Last
year 1870 British steamers entered and
loaded at Sebastopol. Sebastopol has
during recent years developed into q very
pleasant watering place, more especially
since the completion of the new marine
boulevard and number Of bathing insti-
tutions. The yearly increasing number
of summer visitors and tourists have
given rise to number Of large, well
equipped and commodious hotels. Chi.
